I used to have a concealed carry permit, but let it lapse when my kids were born...Know why..? Because it's enough trouble getting the car seat in the car and the kids in it and the diaper bag and everything else....I have not the time, energy, nor the patience for some "macho" instrument of defense/death/violence...what have you....

The whole point of a peaceful pot rally is peace....Weapons were not made for peace....Sure, you argue, blah blah blah keep the peace blah blah blah....

Hammers are made for nails, cars are made for transportation, and guns are made for shooting things....and if you carry them to a rally, they're made for shooting people.....We have enough problems with bombs and knives....guns just pile on to the mix...There is no excuse for defending firearms except to militarize the country...and as I said before...I guess if I get carjacked, me, my wife, and my kids will just have to die...because I would rather go that way than have one of my kids shoot the other one or themselves.

You may tread on me, my brothers and sisters, my neighbors, and my country.......

You know that's is not true and the NRA is not connected to this in any supporting manner, quite the opposite in fact.

So why do you deliberately post it and what does it make you when you do?

Sid, may I answer your rhetorical question? Thanks. "A virulent, illogical troll" That means "this person is purposely baiting us with emotion", for those poor souls who matriculated in the public school system after about 1970.

"Arguments like this tend to be ignored not because they aren't persuasive, but because they are. The political and psychological costsof accepting the premise are too high. So denial inevitably triumphs."

I did not think of Snoop Dog when I saw the picture. Other than skin color, what is the similarity?

I don't know. Corn rows? Checkered shirt? Ganja connoisseur?

He's not wearing cornrows. He's sporting straight hair parted down the middle. Since "ganja connoisseur" includes everyone at a 4/20 gathering and since it's not a physical feature that can be used by police to apprehend a suspect, we'll leave that one alone.

He looks nothing like Snoop. Different brow, different eyes, different nose, different mouth, different chin, different face shape, different build, but he does part his hair like Snoop sometimes does, so there is that. Hope he doesn't change his hairstyle or his shirt between Saturday and today. Then you'll have no leads.

Just curious, but why was a juvenile allowed to be at the event? Isn't it against the law for MJ to be given to a juvenile? Isn't it against the law for parents to expose juveniles to drugs and smoke in their presence? Shouldn't the juveniles parents be investigated by Child Protective Services?

To me he looks like a Duke Ellington from the early or mid 40's. I have a picture of that is in black and white, but it could be his brother for sure. At least the hair and the facial features. I don't think they made that shirt back them, and Duke had more style anyway.

Is it against the law for a child to go the Taste of Colorado where beer is sold and consumed? Do you advocate all those parents be investigated by Child Protective Services?

Duke Ellington? Snoop Dogg? Man, I'm glad neither of you were relied upon as witnesses at the scene. And you both would make abysmal police sketch artists.

We see kids all of the time at festivals where beer is sold. Like Octoberfest's? I can think of several occasions in this state in where beer is sold and there are kids there. It's always best to "think" before you write. This group had a permit from the City of Denver to do what they were doing. Nothing illegal was going on.

You really don't need to try and find a way to justify the shooting at this festival. It could have happened at any rally or festival.

BTW, with pot now legal why do we need a 4/20 day anyway? How bout an alcohol day, or cigarette day, or any other "I need a crutch to accept my life" day?

Toodles....

WELCOME TO DENVER!

You're just going to love Oktoberfest, and Craft Beer Fest, and Taste of Colorado, and Coors Field, and the State Fair, and every concert venue.

Lots to do here, all kid friendly and soaked in booze. No children were harmed at 4-20. the DP would never miss a chance like that.

The Colorado State fair along with the Chili Pepper festival in Pueblo sells beer and children are allowed also. Every 5 K and Marathon that I have been too has beer at the end of the race--and there are kids there also--sometimes live bands too.

Um... The 'kid' was a 16 year old, did you miss that in all of the headlines and articles in the Denver Post from the last 2 days??? 16, sixteen, s-i-x-t-e-e-n... Is that more clear? He's the one that was grazed by a bullet. Ya know, that's the story that was ALL OVER the Denver Post and every major news outlet in the country... SIXTEEN???

Yeah--this is the one that walked off to the hospital by himself because he was grazed by the bullet--MEANING--that his parents obviously weren't there. Now are you suggesting that we lock up all 16 year old's in this state--so they can't go to any festivals where alcohol and or marijuana is being sold or used?

You just can't seem to get past the "it's the marijuana" that did this--and not the two gang banger's that are guilty.
